9. What's the best part of your rig?

It's hard to say, i made this mod so detailed that every component every part has its own story (for the CPU block actually did write out a Mexican soap opera story on my build log :D ) i would have to say the best part for me is the complete interior of the top case.

10. Any dislikes, things you should not have bought?

11. Did you modify anything ?  cases/video cards/other? Did you do it yourself? Walk us through it.

well to put it shortly only the mobo and the PSU was left stock every thing else got modded out as much as it could have, but im not gonna put it shortly im listing it all out, and every thing was done by me, except the sticker :) So here we go:

The out side

• Unique case design. Actually 2 PC cases stacked on top. the bottom one laying on it side acting as a cooler box and the top case more of a traditional PC but with a unique interior
• the cases painted in a white and orange color scheme
• Top case got its power and reset buttons painter and the LED indicator light got swapped out with white ones and then painted white to lessen the shine
• The top where the handle is got cut out for a 8cm LED fan, and that part got a custom mesh to cover the fan
• The front got plastered up, plastering a floppy drive hole and a smaller hole where a logo was, and the 5,25 bay covers for a mesh covering that's held in M4 allen screws
• Installed a temp gauge in the place that the front USB and Audio plug were, and that can be covered up with the flip up door
• The complete bottom case got a custom made frame around it, so it dose not look like a PC case
• The top of the cooler box cover has a handle that was just a metallic color with a black handle, so painted that in the color scheme
• The from of the cooler box has a custom made acrylic water loop with a hand cut OCN.net flame logo in it
• The feet of the case are also painted white with the nuts painted in orange
• There is a white LED strip inside the frame of the cooler box, and a orange LED strip at the bottom

Heading into the insides

• A unique interior
• Custom painted and custom stickers put on the RAM
• Custom painted and custom stickers put on the GPU
• Custom made acrylic LED light GPU back plate
• Custom painted and custom stickers put on the Fans
• Custom painted and custom stickers put on the SSD
• Custom made power cables, made as a stand out feature going from the top where the PSU is down into the cooler box and then each cable to its connector
• Custom sleeved power cables. As of the unique way they go down the case wanted to keep the same theme on all the cables after that, so had to sleeve some cables in 2 different colors to get that effect and all the cables to have the same theme
• Sleeved SATA cables and sleeved power, reset and the LED connector wires
• Custom 3D printed cable combs, with out witch this could not be possible. The main flow down has a 48 cable comb, the combs that hold the 24 pin and the 4 pin coming out of the cooler box have 24 pin separate and 4 pin holders on top of them, and the rest of the cable combs holding the cables in position, those are also unique i designed them my self and the bottom comb clips over to top one and then hold the cable firmly in position
• Custom 3D printed SSD stand that im very proud of also custom painted
• Custom 3D printed PCIE slot covers that are made out of 2 parts and have mesh inside to better show off the text on them
• A custom made acrylic CPU water block cover, as the original one did not have G 1/4 fittings i made my one that did
• Custom made acrylic water paths that bring the coolant up from the cooler box and to the CPU and then return it down as well
• A hell of a customized fan controller, replaced the blue LED's with White and then painted them orange to lessen the glow, painter the front cover white, painted the knobs and switches orange, changed the screws to M3 allen screws and painted them black and put on custom made sticker on the knobs to represent the current position and on the front panel around each know a RPM sticker
• Custom made I/O cover from them inside to hide the connectors
• Custom made I/O shield as i did not get one with the used mobo made one out of mesh and cut it out where the connectors are
• Cut down the mobo tray and extended it with a acrylic sheet to make a window effect, as i cut out the back cover so the water paths and the cables could be visible from the back as well
• The bottom top and the right side of the interior are lined with foamed PVC
• The right side has a big S7 logo in it, the letters were hand cut and painted
• On the top is a spotlight that shines a white LED onto the S7 logo
• And a cover up top to hide away the PSU and the cabling up top
• And last but not lest a slot loaded optical drive placed on the bottom of the top case to give that wow effect when it comes out of the bottom of the top case, hints the Beware of the disc sign :)

Hope I did not forget to list anything :)
